Chapter 23 Sell me the car
“You really shouldn’t bring that up. Oh, I never told you about Yao Cen’s husband. He’s a hillbilly from the mountains. He doesn’t know about anything. He really shouldn’t come to such occasions.”
She hardly tried to hide her sense of superiority in her words.
“You shouldn’t say that. What’s wrong with living in the mountains? He’ll grow up eventually if he wants to. You should bring him out from time to time and see the world, or he’ll never get any decent business to do.”
Hu Xuesong sounded like an elite.
“Yao Cen, forgive me if I’m being too direct. Do you remember how those boys followed you when we were in college? But you married that loser. Just how could that be!” Bai Ke went on.
“I remember when you got married, you didn’t even tell us, and I never saw you in your wedding dress. What a shame.”
The two never stopped and the mockery between their words could not be more obvious.
She did not say anything but had mixed feelings.
At the time she got married, the family thought the marriage was such a shame that they did not really invite anyone to their marriage.
She was such a proud woman. Growing up she was not only the prettiest girl, but also the best student in school.
If she didn’t have to manage their business for her father, maybe she would have left the country like Liu Manqing did.
Yet, even if she hadn’t left the country, countless elite boys were already surrounding her every day. Instead, she was forced to marry the loser.
In their dorm, Bai Ke used to be such a timid girl, but now, even she was making fun of her. Of course she would have mixed emotions and even the rims of her eyes got red.
“Yao Cen, in a few days, I will be having my wedding at Hotel Wellness, and you must be there. As you know, Hotel Wellness is the best hotel in this city, so it took us a lot of effort to get a reservation there. Luckily, my husband knows some friends, otherwise I really don’t know how long we’ll have to wait.”
Her words were full of pride and superiority.
When they went to college, she was just a nobody, while Yao Cen was a princess girl who got all the attention. She was nothing in front of her, and they could only see Yao Cen.
Now she could finally hold her head high and trample that princess girl under her feet.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
She had never been happier and felt that fate had finally been fair to her.
“Remember to bring your husband, so he can know what a real wedding should be like.” Hu Xuesong laughed.
“If you divorce that loser. You’ll have to keep your eyes open next time. Find a better man and have a decent wedding, ugh, but it’s really hard to say what happens to a divorced woman. But as a good friend, I truly hope you’ll be happy.”
She never stopped.
The couple took turns humiliating her, and Yao Cen turned pale as the long nail of her thumb stabbed at the knuckle of her index finger. It was almost bleeding.
She smiled bitterly and nodded, “I’ll be there.”
Bai Ke reached out and grabbed her hand, saying worriedly, “Dress up properly, all our classmates will be there. Maybe there will be some boy who remembers you and doesn’t mind that you were married. It’s a chance too.”
At that moment, a murmur erupted around them.
“The Queen will be here soon.”
“The Queen? Who is that?”
“No, The Queen is Givenchy’s new wedding dress for this season. It’s said that this piece was hand knitted by a dozens of craftsmen and costs over five million dollars.”
“Gosh, five million for a dress?”
Bai Ke laughed bitterly, “Ugh, it’s a pity. Our wedding is this month and we don’t have time. I really wish I could wear that on our wedding day. Hubby, you’ll buy it for me, right?”
“Of course, as long as you like it, even if it’s a star in the sky, I’m willing to take it to you.” Hu Xuesong privately felt thankful. Five million for a wedding dress? Was she crazy? Luckily, they were out of time.
With that, they were back to their lovey dovey mode.
“Do you love her?”
Song Linger noticed that Xiao Shun’s eyes had been resting on a woman in the front row, and she quickly recognized that woman as well. Yesterday, the Yao family had forced Xiao Shun to divorce her. She was fairly sure that she was Xiao Shun’s wife, so she couldn’t help but ask.
Xiao Shun was slightly stunned.
Love?
He had no idea what love was either. He had never been in love. He had always grown up in the mountains, and when he got off the mountain he went straight into their house.
Yao Cen was beautiful, she looked like a beautiful flower in the valley. He wanted to protect her, and maybe that was all.
When he heard what they said, Xiao Shun would feel poorly. He felt they weren’t just humiliating her, and they were also humiliating him. He couldn’t stand it.
“No.” Xiao Shun whispered. When he said the words, he felt a little awkward for some reason he couldn’t understand.
“You don’t take what my grandfather said yesterday seriously. You’re a good doctor, but I don’t feel anything for you.” Song Linger suddenly said with wide eyes.
What’s wrong with this girl? What’s that all about?
“I don’t.”
Song Linger instantly relaxed and smiled happily, “That’s good.”
Xiao Shun, “…”
What did you mean by that smile?
“Do you have any money with you?” Xiao Shun asked.
Song Linger raised her chin in triumph, “Of course, I’m a princess. Do you need money?”
Well, he had never seen someone who would show off her family that confidently.
“Lend me some money.”
“No problem. How much do you want?”
“Five million.”
Song Linger’s hand paused in her bag, “I don’t have that much. One hundred thousand at most.”
“What princess only has a hundred thousand?” Xiao Shun gave her a blank look.
Song Linger bristled, ”My grandfather only gives me a hundred thousand dollars every month. But what do you need that much money for? You want to smash her to death with money?”
He had to admit that this was really a special girl.
“I don’t need to smash someone to death with five million. A coin will do.”
Xiao Shun thought for a moment, “Why don’t you sell me that car of yours?”
